I actually think the sailcloth is a vast improvement over the leather.biggus_richus wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 10:14 pm If this watch has one problem, it’s that it’s the antithesis of a strap monster. Trying something a bit lighter though.

Re: the bureaucracy for shipping outside the EU is too complicated
I've purchased plenty of watches and other items from the UK (pre and post Brexit) and other EU countries. As I understand it, exporting from he EU is no different than exporting from Canada: Take packed item to post office. Complete customs declaration form (or complete online and print). Attack de...

Re: New Timex Marlin retro sub-dial
The Marlin, Q and Waterbury lines from Timex are well designed watches at a great price point. The Q chrono is one of my favourite designs of the last year.

Re: Do you have an alarm clock / watch?
I have cats that usually function as my alarm clock on days off. Standing on your chest and meowing as loud as possible 2 inches from your face is an obscenely effective alarm. For work days I rely on a Google Home Hub. It's a great piece of tech. I have a handful of alarm watches. A C4 that is too ...

Re: Post a picture from your latest ride
We had a recent warm spell (it's back to -25 Celsius right now) so I took advantage of the warm spring-like days and took my new gravel bike out for a shakedown ride. There is gravel somewhere under that snow.

Re: Post a picture from your latest ride
We've had some unseasonably warm weather for the past week. Warm enough that the snow is mostly gone from the roads, and the snow on the trails was just right for riding without studs or fat tires. It was a perfect excuse to take my new gravel bike out for a shakedown ride, and get the brakes bedded...

Re: Finishing the Finnish way
The concave bezel is a subtle but very interesting touch. Certainly one that only watch lovers will notice.

Re: The Apprentice in Dubai
Could they really have plane tickets booked for them without their knowledge? I can book a flight for anyone without their knowledge. All that is required is their name, birth date and passport number. All that would have been needed is for the producers to require all contestants to provide proof ...

Re: Zurich: The coolest watch brand in town
They look nice enough, but at those prices I want to see some sort of brand design language. It seems that most of the lineup is expensive interpretations of other watches, without anything that makes you say "that's a Zurich".

I think the rainbow gas tubes are a fun dial option It's nice to see Ball using them on more models.

Re: New watch day!
^^^^^ 100% agree. I definitely prefer the originals over what's replacing them. Don't know how they thought they were 'advancing the breed'. You bought well! WIth the SBGN series being entry level GS watches, I wonder if they are trying to play off the SKX/SK5 design language that would be familiar...

Re: New watch day!
Thanks Ryan. The SBGN 003 and 005 have been replaced by the 027 and 029, with the 4 o'clock crown and date. Some retailers may still have the 003 and 005 though. I definitely prefer the originals.

Top notch acquisition, Chris with definitely a healthy dose of karma at play. Enjoy. For the Grand Seiko ignoramus that I am, what size is it? You refer to the Sealander, so 39mm?

Re: C65 Dune
Definitely an unpopular opinion, but after the Bel Canto, a BB36 homage is a bit...lacking.
The applied logo is a fantastic addition though.
